“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Enabling ‘Baby Steps’ on Guns leads to Bottom of Pelosi’s ‘Slippery Slope’

by Jews Can Shoot on November 28, 2017

“A new bipartisan bill to reform some parts of the federal background check system for gun sales may be a ‘baby step’ but members of Connecticut’s congressional delegation believe it could become a turning point on gun control,” the Hartford Courant practically drools. “U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said the proposal has significant Republican support in Congress in the wake of the latest mass shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and may represent a ‘breakthrough piece of legislation.’”

Exactly. If nothing else, a proposed “fix” to the background check system prompted by the Air Force “fail[ing] to report the Sutherland Springs shooter’s domestic abuse and bad conduct discharge to the background database” gives gun-grabbing Democrats something to crow about, momentum to build on, and ground gained without a fight. Meanwhile, Republicans, many of whom we’re told are “pro-gun,” are lining up to sign on to S.2135, “A bill to enforce current law regarding the National Instant Criminal Background Check System” (text not yet available at this writing).

They do so because they’ve been given the green light by the National Rifle Association, which along with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, has given the scheme its blessing.
